THE Boston Globe speaks of Governor Gray
as one of the most available and conspicuous
candidates for Vice-president on the Demo
cratic side and says: "He came to the De-
mocracy in 1872, after having been put through
severe course of political sprouts by that
peerless manager, Oliver P. Morton" One
would think Governor Gray would tire of the
unanimity of his Democratic eulogists in
reference to his Republican antecedents and
training as the best part of spolitical record.
He certainly did thing that he did not
learn in the school of ''that peerless manager,
Oliver P. Morton" when he deserted to the
Democracy in 1872. because the Republicans

Homes VS.. Saloons.

There are two institutions at least which are
in utter and everlasting eptagonsm, the home
and the LIQUOR saloon. At home the ladies and
the innocent children make the atmosphere
bright aud wholesome. and fill tae spot with
peaceful memories. The saloon is the antipodes
of all this. 1t is eminently masculine arrange
ment-a ons-sided concern. No man. unless
sunk in the depths of degradation, would dream
of introducing his wife and children into it. The
women in our day, in all civilized countries, are
endowed with liberties which gradually ex-
tending; but they were never asked and will
never be asked, to support the whisky saloons.
1t has been in years gone by as if the male side of
humanity, not being sufficiently refined to be
satisfied with the joys and comforts of home,
endeavored to find something radically opposite,
with which to console himself during some part
of the day night. That man never invites
his '.helpmeet" to share his unsanctfed pleas
shows at least his appreciation of her higher
nature, and his acquiescence in the idea that
the surroundings and influences of the saloon

inclinations. 1t may be that some such thoughts
as these have haunted those in this and other

We observe, with more or less pain. that the

THE good people of Terre Haute seem to
be unduly excited over vague apprehension
that Indianapolis contemplates kidnapping the
President or doing something to prevent his
departure for that city on schedule time. So
far as can be learned, nothing of the kind has
been thought of here, and there is really no
foundation for the incipient panic in Terre
Haute. The President and his party will be
forwarded from this point promptly on time,
in good order and condition.

The evil can be measurably cured and great
reform in politics effected by reducing the

THE present status of the Anarchist cases
furnishes a striking illustration of the mis-
chief that results from tardy administration
of justice. If these men had been executed
within reasonable time after their conviction
scarcely voice would have been raised
against the justice of the act, and the moral
effect would have been very great. The long
delay has given their sympathizers time to
rally, and, with the aid of the opponents Of
capital punishment and other cranks and SEN
timentalists, great effort win be made to
